Everything You Treasure — For a World Free From Nuclear Weapons
This panel exhibition will run daily from Friday, September 12 through Wednesday, September 17 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the GH Art Gallery (GH 128).
About the Exhibit
The panel exhibition “Everything You Treasure — For a World Free From Nuclear Weapons” was jointly created in August 2012 by SGI (Soka Gakkai International) and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN to commemorate the 55th anniversary of second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda’s September 8, 1957, Declaration Calling for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons.
Nuclear weapons are a continuing and direct threat to all that we, collectively and individually, treasure. They impact us in ways ranging from humanitarian, environmental and economic to medical, generational and spiritual. We ourselves are the solution to the abolition of nuclear weapons which provides an opportunity to transform society, win over violence and establish a culture of peace.
The exhibit aims to:
- Build a broader nuclear abolition constituency by providing the opportunity to learn about nuclear weapons from multiple viewpoints.
- Provide information and perspectives that empower people to take action for “the future we want”.
- Generate popular momentum toward the outlawing of nuclear weapons through a treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
